At the table next to mine sat an attractive, 23 couple, waiting for 24 . They held hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their 25 and stepped together 26 the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped 27 for the two chairs. He politely 28 his lady in the knee-deep water and then sat down himself. All people around laughed and cheered.

三、阅读理解。(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
The old idea that child prodigies (神童) “burn themselves” or “overtax their brains” in the early years, therefore, suffer from failure and (at worst) mental illness is just a myth. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright children is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults.
To find this out, 1,500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth years with these results:
On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they did as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. Eighty-four percent of their group were married and seemed content with their life.
About 70 percent had graduated from colleges, though only 30 percent had graduated with honors. A few had even flunked out (退学), but nearly half of these had returned to graduate.
Of the men, 80 percent were in one of the professions or in business, managerial or semiprofessional jobs. The women who had remained single had offices, business, or professional occupations.
The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents.
In a material way they didn’t do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth when last surveyed.
In fact, far from being strange, maladjusted (难以适应) people locked in an ivory tower, most of the gifted were turning their early promises into practical reality.
41. The main idea of the passage is __________.
A. that gifted adults can be as intelligent as when they were young
B. that bright children are unlikely to be physically and mentally healthy
C. that gifted children are most likely to become bright grown-ups
D. that when the bright children grow up, they become ordinary
42. From the passage, we can conclude that ____________.
A. most of the gifted children became white-collar workers
B. half of the gifted followed up graduated from colleges
C. each of the talented published at least one article
D. successful men got higher income than successful women
43. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?
A. The gifted could not be fit for their social positions.
B. Most of the bright and successful women remained single.
C. The gifted men got full marks on intelligence tests.
D. Most of the gifted appeared satisfied with their life.
44. The explanation of the underlined part “turning their early promises into practical reality” is _____________.
A. earning their living and keeping promises
B. doing practical jobs and facing reality
C. doing what they have promised
D. realizing what they were expected
B
Before a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.
The first is called the “tank test”. A modern airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (结构) of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (压力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger.
The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines (发动机) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.
45. By doing the “tank test”, the engineers can find out ___________.
A. the pressure inside and outside the plane
B. the strength of the plane structure
C. the amount of air in the plane
D. the power of the airplane engines
46. What will happen to the plane under the “tank test”?
A. It will be broken.
B. It will be made stronger.
C. It will be filled with water.
D. It will be tested by pilots.
47. According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous?
A. The engines may be damaged.
B. The pilot may lose control of the plane.
C. The plane may explode in the air.
D. Too much air may get into the plane.
48. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Two Important Tests on Airplanes
B. The Danger of Testing Airplanes
C. The Importance of Flying Safely
D. How Airplanes Are Made and Tested

Cara Lang is 13. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts, in the US. Last Thursday, she didn’t go to school. She went to work with her father instead. Every year, on the fourth Thursday in April, millions of young girls go to work. This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The girls are between the ages of 9 to 15. They spend the day at work with an adult, usually a mother, aunt, or uncle. They go to offices, police stations, laboratories, and other places where their parents or other family members work. Next year, the day will include sons, too.
The Ms. Foundation, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago. In the US, many women work outside the home. The Ms. Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs. Then, when the girls grow up, they can choose a job they like.
Cara’s father is a film director. Cara says, “It was very exciting for me to go to the studio with my dad. I saw a lot of people doing different jobs.” Many businesses have special activities for girls on this day. Last year, Cara went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts. In the engineering department, the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks and candy. In the chemistry department, they learned to use scales. They learned about many other kinds of jobs, too.
Right now, Cara does not know what jobs she will have when she grows up. But because of Take Our Daughters to Work Day, she knows she has many choices.

Jonathan James looks like just another kid about to graduate from high school. But this 19-year-old Swede is anything but ordinary, from the computer in his parents’ home he helps the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) find out the world’s most wanted cyber criminals (网络犯罪分子).
Jonathan first made headlines when he and another Swede, Fredrik Bjoerck, found out the maker of the “Melissa” virus (病毒) in March 1999. He came to the aid of the FBI again on May 7, finding out the suspected (嫌疑的) sender of the dangerous “I LOVE YOU” virus. The suspect was caught in Manila on May 8.
Jonathan’s special skills are in hot demand as officials around the world express alarm at the “virtual” crimewave. In between studying for final exams, hanging out with friends and refereeing his younger brother’s football matches, the quiet, gentle teenager also gives lessons on e-security (电子安全) to large companies. He reads a lot and exchanges information with other computer experts to know much about the latest tricks of the hacker (黑客) trade.
Many companies have already tried to employ him, but he is not interested at the moment. Instead, he plans to begin law school in the autumn at Sweden’s Uppsala University and start up his own e-security company.
Although he works with the FBI now, his family insists he’s just “a regular kid”. “Jonathan is a great kid, he has his friends and he does a lot more than just play with the computer,” his little sister Tessa said, adding that he helps the FBI because “he likes to help”, not because he’s looking for fame and recognition.
When the world was hit by the “Love Bug” virus, Jonathan was too busy preparing a speech on e-security to look into the problem. “Finally on May 7, I had some free time, so I began looking.” Within a few hours, he had found the suspect and e-mailed his method and results to the FBI. He said his work on the “Melissa” virus, which took three weeks to solve, was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly.
“This time I knew exactly where to start, I knew what to disregard and what to look at.”
53. The passage mainly wants to tell us that ___________.
A. Swedish kid helps FBI find out the most wanted cyber criminals
B. Jonathan is really a quiet, gentle and ordinary boy
C. many companies want the young computer expert to join in
D. any cyber criminals will surely be found out wherever they are
54. The public started to know something about Jonathan just from _________.
A. his helping the US FBI to find out the sender of the dangerous “I LOVE YOU” virus
B. his work together with Fredrik Bjoerck to find out the maker of the “Melissa” virus
C. his little sister’s talk about his good qualities as a regular kid and a good programmer
D. his speech on e-security to many computer companies after his fight against hackers
55. From Jonathan’s success in finding out the sender of the dangerous ‘Love Bug” virus we can infer that _________.
A. where there’s a will, there’s a way
B. experience is knowledge
C. hard work leads to success
D. failure is the mother of success
56. What do we know about Jonathan?
A. He is a good fame hunter with various abilities.
B. He is such a brave fighter that any criminal will feel afraid.
C. He is an expert on security, not interested in running a company.
D. He is a regular kid but does something unusual.

Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks—we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around-family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, new Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country area where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.
57. Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ___________.
A. has little to do with culture
B. has much to do with culture
C. is ever changing
D. is different from place to place
58. According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _____________.
A. before birth
B. as soon as one’s teeth are newly set
C. sometime after new teeth are set
D. around 15 years old
59. Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by __________.
A. how much he or she laughs
B. how he or she raises his or her eyebrows
C. what he or she likes best
D. the way he or she talks
60. This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing with ____________.
A. physics B. chemistry
C. biology D. none of the above

Recent, survey has been done to find out the reading interests of senior middle school students. In this survey, one thousand senior middle school students from ten schools in Nantong City were interviewed. They were asked which they liked reading best among the four categories of English articles ---news, stories, popular science articles and articles about learning methods.
The survey shows that more than half of the students like to read news bestt. Twenty-six percent of the students say that English stories are their favorite. Only seven percent of the students are most interested in reading articles about learning methods. However, the number of
students who enjoy reading popular science articles doubles that of those who prefer reading
articles about learning methods.
部分试题解析:
21题 根据前两个关键词,再比较选项,这时空气应该是静止的(C)。
22题 线索为quarrelsome(可根据词根quarrel猜测词义), 说明这时人们的脾气都长了(D. rise指上涨),导致气氛有点吵吵闹闹的。
23题 根据whispered, laughed可排除A、D。他们并没关注别人,所以B也不对,下文的in one’s best clothes可证实此判断。
24题 参照44题的解释。
25题 本句较长,攻破长句的办法是确定主要框架:they stood, picked… and stepped… to place…; 这样就可看出40空拿起的东西后来放在水中了,所以应该选桌子。
26题 如果选A、C或D,那对夫妇就没离开原来坐的位置。所以只有表示离开的off正确。27题 前面放了桌子,要坐下还需要椅子,所以走回来拿,选back。
28题 从男人自己也坐下了可看出这里是让the lady坐在水中,所以选seated。led 指带领,但是the lady已经站在水边了。
29题 注意挖空出现在段落衔接位置,通常和上段相关。上文中还留着waiting for 39 , 这里出现的应该是和等待相关的,后文这人拿了酒来,所以可断定44填waiter. 此时也可断定39为service.
30-33 空在同一个长句中。不过确定了waiter就可想到是为客人服务,摆好(set)桌子、听客人点菜(order) 人们之前只 cheer了一次,之后还有,所以不是熟悉的,或者最后的,也不可能是焦虑的,所以选loud。有his,所以不选tourists, assistants, fellows指伙伴,服务生在工作应该没几个伙伴在场,所以应该选众多的customers 。
34题 第一次入水时他犹豫了,但这次他没犹豫,所以这里是再次(C)。
35题 拿来的酒是客人点的所以选serve:上酒。
36题 上句那对夫妇对大家祝酒,所以其他人在回应 (replied)。
37题 其他人也加入到水中用餐的行列,所以选joined in。
38题 联系并列的上一句和上面的have lunch in the water,可知通常不会在水里上菜,所以C对。
39-40题 联系前面发议论的两句可知不符合常规,所以54选跳出(D)常规。更好地享受生活,55选生活,因为sometimes体现出是从这次经历推及平常生活。
(A篇)此文的结构比较清晰,第1段提出观点,The old idea that …is just a myth. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright children is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults.虽然第一句很长,而且有难词myth,但如果按照这里提供的方法,注意最基本的主句,就不影响理解,尤其是后面的as a matter of fact突出了事实应该是怎样,才是关键内容,前面一句即使不懂都没有关系。
从行文逻辑考虑,这一段用正反两方面的话表明作者的观点,以下就应当用事实论证。果不其然,从2段始至7段止,作者从几个方面介绍了这些天资聪颖的孩子们所取得的骄人成绩。
最后一段做总结,呼应第一段的观点。In fact, far from being …, most of the gifted were turning their early promises into practical reality.
第41题 考查文章的主旨大意,对议论文来说,就是作者反复论证的观点,所以答案是C。B、D明显和第一段的观点相反,易排除。相对而言,误选A的学生较多,究其原因在于没有分清文章中的事实和观点。
第42题 这种提问方式可涵盖全文也可涉及细节;本题主要是细节,并需要简单的概括推理,答案是A。调查的人中大学毕业率是70%,所以B错。文章只给出了出版文章的总数,但没说明该群体具体出版文章数量的比例,所以C也错。D乍一看很对,但本文谈的主题是gifted people,不是successful people,所以是偷换概念,也不对。
第43题 这是一道细节题。根据原文84 percent of their group were married and seemed content with their life.可确定答案为D,同时排除B。A明显有悖于文章的观点,所以错。C选项中说的满分也不符合原文。
第44题 本题考查对难句的理解。此句看似简单,划线部分的每一个词都为考生所熟知,但是这里promise指(成功的)希望,而作为动词的promise指承诺或(某物)有可能…。遇到意思不太明确的词或句时,一定要注意根据主旨大意,上下文来确定,因为考查点一定是重要的内容。所以即使不太明白意思这句,也可以从结构判断,既然它是总结,对首段观点做呼应,它和首段第二句意思的肯定接近。所以为D,神童像人们期望的那样长大也有所作为。
(B篇)第一段是总述,介绍说明的对象:对新飞机的最重要的两个测试。下面分成两部分分别说明两种测试。第一种测试介绍了其目的、步骤、结果。第二种是最危险的测试;并介绍危险在哪里。最后一句总结测试的意义。
第45题 本题考查细节理解:第一种测试的目的。原文的:The metal structure (结构) of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. 后文又提到如果飞机的金属结构承受不了空中的气压就会爆炸,所以B正确。
第46题 本题同样是考查寻读具体信息的能力:第一种测试下飞机会出现的情况,也就是对文章分析部分中的第一种测试的结果。原文中的Finally, there is an explosion. 和Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger.这两句可以判断出A正确。本题B选项的迷惑性很强。其错误的原因是题干问的是在tank test测试下的飞机会怎样,而不是测试之后(after the “tank test”)。
第47题 本题考查细节理解:第二种测试的危险之处。从最后一段可以看出这种测试中飞机的引擎要被关掉,而飞机驾驶员必须在下落的过程中找到能再次发动飞机的办法,所以B正确。A错,因为文章没提到引擎被损坏;C错在, 飞机在下落时有可能跌落到地上爆炸,但不会在空中爆炸,D则原文根本没有提。
第48题 本题考查主旨。从文章的分析可以看出文章要讲的是对飞机进行的两种重要测试。所以A对。B很容易误选,因为的确危险性很大,但这并非文章的中心。C选项指安全飞行的重要性,所以也不对。D选项除了测试还说了飞机的制造所以错.
(C篇)本篇开头采用了新闻常见的手法“设悬念”,以吸引读者。这个小悬念就是:Cara Lang上周四没去上学,而且不仅她,美国还有上百万的女孩在每年的这天都去“上班”。之后为你揭晓原因,这一天是Take Our Daughters to Work Day。通常悬念的答案就是文章的主题或者中心。
然后文章具体讲了谁能享受这个日子,都具体做什么,为什么会出现这样一个日子。之后再回到Cara这个典型的例子,更具体地体现出这个日子对女孩子带来什么样的影响。这样就可总结出文章的中心是Take Our Daughters to Work Day。 用具体的人物做例子来介绍事件是新闻常见的手法,从而使新闻事件有人情味、更具体、更具趣味性。这样的新闻容易被误认为记叙文,但和记叙文不同的是,新闻强调事实性、客观性。
第49题 细节题。原文是Cara’s father is a film director。

第51题 这天的意义在于女孩子可接触到很多不同的工作,本题就是考查这点的理解。答案为B,因为她在studio里只是看别人工作。
